** Armsmen of Tar Valon **
In eleven novels, with numerous visits to Tar Valon and the White Tower, Jordan provides only one glimpse of the armsmen of Tar Valon:
- "A square of pikemen marched along the streets, ranks and files bristling like a carding comb, followed by bowmen in flat, rimmed helmets, with filled quivers riding at their hips and bows slanted across their chests. A squadron of armored horsement, faces hidden behind the steel bars of their helmets, gave way to Verin and her party at a wave of their officer's gauntleted hand. All wore the White Flame of Tar Valon, like a snowy teardrop, on their breasts." <TDR: 11, 145-6, Tar Valon>
